Yorkshire Puddings – Batch Cook

I love Yorkshire puddings and have been cooking my fool-proof recipe for years. Literally the only variation I’ve made on my original Yorkshire Pudding go recipe is to add mixed herbs to some batches. They are the perfect batch cook food. I make a couple of dozen at a time, leave the extra on a […]

Roast Leg of Lamb – Syn Free (if you like)

Roast Leg of Lamb – Syn Free (if you like)

I’m a big fan of roast lamb, and judging by the hits on my other lamb posts (see below) lots of other people are too. I generally use shoulder, it’s fairly cheap and cooked correctly can be wonderfully tender and tasty, but I do like leg. Leg is a lovely lean cut, and with the […]

Roast Guinea Fowl

Roast Guinea Fowl

I’ve never had guinea fowl before (I don’t think), so when my mother brought one home I decided it was probably best for my first culinary adventure with it to just follow the instructions on the packet and roast it. I covered the skin with a few rashers of bacon to stop it from drying […]

Slow Roasted Shoulder of Lamb with Spiced Smoked Garlic Marinade

Slow Roasted Shoulder of Lamb with Spiced Smoked Garlic Marinade

This recipe is may be for slow cooking, but it’s super quick on the preparation, especially if as I did you have the marinade leftover from another recipe (Sirloin Steak with Spiced Smoked Garlic Marinade). A problem I’ve often found when searching for slow roasted lamb recipes online is they always seem to assume you […]

Inevitably there are some leftover at Christmas or after a big roast dinner, and you don’t want to through them away so hopefully my little tip will give you perfect reheated vegetables that taste as […]

Another day, a another make-ahead and freeze recipe from my Christmas Menu! Today it’s mashed potatoes, a firm Christmas or Sunday favourite and lots of people’s comfort food of choice. The method I use is more or less identical to my Carrot & Swede Mash (forgot to take pictures so check out that post for […]

Roast Chicken Stuffed with Black Pudding

Roast Chicken Stuffed with Black Pudding

Sometimes the best meals come from boredom and a little inspiration. This meal is definitely one of those. The other day I was staring into the fridge at the chicken I had to roast that evening, wondering if there was anything else in there I could jazz it up a bit with when I spotted it, the black […]

Roasted Boneless Rib of Beef

Roasted Boneless Rib of Beef

Rib of beef is probably the tastiest and most tender roasting cut. I love it, and it’s not just for a crowd, I often get a joint a couple of inches thick, about 2lbs/1kg in weight, which is the perfect size for dinner for two, with a bit left over for the next day’s lunch. […]
